A great surprise, true to Sandy's greatness, yet original.
author: D.J. Beach
I received Linde's CD as a gift and it is wonderful. As a Sandy purist I'm suspicious of interpreters and hard to please, so this collection is a great surprise. Linde's voice is lovely and well-suited to the material she's chosen. Her stylings are subtle and just different enough from Sandy's to add something fresh. When Linde changes an inflection or note, it's inventive and benefits the song. I enthusiastically recommend this CD, especially to all those sceptics like me who think Sandy can't be well interpreted.

A must buy for all sandy denny fans!
author: grant canyon
not the first lp solely devoted to sandy denny songs, but an excellent one indeed.Top marks for the choice of songs, including the enigmatic "No End" and "Autopsy".Marvellous version of "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", but for me the highlight is her wonderful reading of "What is true".Top marks, Linde!Very brave following in the late great Sandy's footsteps, and this is a glorious success.Only failure is the traditional "This train" which really doesnot suit Linde's voice.But a must buy for all sandy fans.

As beautiful as it gets!!!
author: Jan Gardberg
Linde is simply an excellent, incredible singer, and she's chosen truly great Denny songs to cover. Everything is done with love, sincerity and taste. This is the kind of music that the world needs today - soulful, relaxing, full of warmth and humanity, both humble and full of selfconfidence, a true piece of art... Covering Denny is bound to either end in a total fiasco or - if you're able to carry it off, as Linde is - in a total triumph. Which is what this record is, really. Give it a listen!
